    Abstract Objective: To determine the imaging characteristics and stability over time of sternal lesions identified on breast MRI in patients without history of cancer.
    Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective analysis of all breast MRIs performed at our institution from September 1, 2017 to December 1, 2021 that included one of several key words related to the sternum. Studies with history of non-dermatologic malignancy including breast cancer, absence of a true sternal lesion, or presence of symptoms during the examination were excluded. Imaging was reviewed for size, distribution, signal characteristics, and presence of contrast enhancement, perilesional edema, periosteal edema, or intralesional fat. Available comparison imaging, clinical history, and follow-up recommendations were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize lesion data.
    Results: Of 60 lesions included from 60 patients, 40 lesions with more than two years of comparison imaging were either stable or decreased in size and none demonstrated change in signal characteristics. The majority of these presumed benign lesions demonstrated hypointense signal on T1-weighted sequences (21/40, 52.5%), hyperintense signal on fluid-sensitive sequences (33/40, 82.5%), contrast enhancement (32/40, 80.0%), and absence of clear intralesional fat (29/40, 72.5%). One patient who did not have comparison imaging was diagnosed with malignancy (multiple myeloma) eight months following their MRI. This lesion demonstrated uniquely diffuse and heterogeneous enhancement but did not undergo biopsy.
    Conclusion: Sternal lesions in women without history of non-dermatologic malignancy have a very low likelihood of malignancy. Common imaging characteristics of the presumed benign lesions can inform imaging recommendations when incidental sternal lesions are discovered.

    Abstract Observations over the last decade have demonstrated that the atmosphere contains potentially hundreds of compounds that can react with sulfuric acid to nucleate stable aerosol particles. Consequently, modeling atmospheric nucleation requires detailed knowledge of nucleation reaction kinetics and spatially and temporally resolved measurements of numerous precursor compounds. This study introduces the Nucleation Potential Model (NPM), a novel nucleation model that dramatically simplifies the diverse reactions between sulfuric acid and any combination of precursor gases. The NPM predicts 1 nm nucleation rates from only two measurable gas concentrations, regardless of whether all precursor gases are known. The NPM describes sulfuric acid nucleating with a parameterized base compound at an effective base concentration, [ B eff ]. [ B eff ] captures the ability of a compound or mixture to form stable clusters with sulfuric acid and is estimated from measured 1 nm particle concentrations. The NPM is applied to experimental and field observations of sulfuric acid nucleation to demonstrate how [ B eff ] varies for different stabilizing compounds, mixtures, and sampling locations. Analysis of previous field observations shows distinct differences in [ B eff ] between locations that follow the emission sources and stabilizing compound concentrations for that region. Overall, the NPM allows researchers to easily model nucleation across diverse environments and estimate the concentration of non-sulfuric acid precursors using a condensation particle counter.

    Abstract The mechanical properties of coconut shell ash (CSA) reinforced polyester composite have been optimized. Various test specimens were developed by dispersing 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt.%, of CSA in unsaturated polyester resin in decreasing particle sizes of 40, 30, and 20 µm in an open mould using hand lay-up technique. Tensile, flexural, and impact strengths, as well as tensile and flexural moduli and Shore D hardness of all test samples were determined. The results showed that 10-20 wt.% CSA increased tensile, flexural, impact strengths and flexural modulus for all particle sizes, but 30-40 wt. % CSA engendered depreciation in corresponding performance. For all particle sizes, 10-40 wt. percent CSA resulted in an increase in tensile strength, whereas 10-40 wt. percent resulted into a linear increase in Shore D hardness. Further observation portrayed that in each case, the finest CSA (20 µm) have the optimum result. Statistical analysis carried out on experimental outcomes confirmed the experimental variables (particle proportion and sizes) to be significant. From the surface plot, the strength responses revealed more dependence on the individual variables than their interactions. Regression models developed for individual responses are termed statistically fit in representing the experimental data.

    Abstract Background: Psychosocial traumatisation associated with giving birth, can occur in those present with the woman giving birth, a phenomenon known as vicarious trauma. It has been identified that there are currently no interventions available for midwifery students who have experienced vicarious trauma following difficult birth experiences.
    Objective: To explore whether the counselling intervention developed by Gamble et al. (2005), can be adapted for midwifery students to be appropriately and feasibly used as a counselling intervention with peers who have experienced midwifery practice-related vicarious trauma.
    Design: Interpretive descriptive methodology.
    Setting: This study was set at two Australian universities from which pre-registration midwifery courses are delivered.
    Participants: The work of reviewing the original tool and adapting it for use by and with midwifery students associated with this project was conducted by a key stakeholder group of seven representative midwifery students and five midwifery academics.
    Methods: Ethics were approved. Data were collected via one face to face and two online conversations using the Microsoft Teams™ platform. Reflexive Thematic analysis were applied to revise the tool following each round of data collection and to finalise the adaptation of the intervention for its new intended purpose.
    Results: The Midwifery Student Peer Debriefing Tool is presented as a six-step intervention that guides the midwifery student through a process of debriefing with their peer. The feasibility of the tool resulted in an overarching theme labelled "I want this to mean something" and captures the therapeutic power of peer debriefing toward a meaningful outcome that fostered growth, and a deeper understanding of the profession.
    Conclusion: Vicarious trauma is widely recognised as a core reason for midwives and midwifery students leaving the workforce. The peer debriefing tool helps midwifery students move through the process of recovering from adversity but also fostered learnings about midwifery practice and the profession.
